Two airlines cancel flights to Israel for pro-Palestinian troublemakers, others who arrive will not be dealt with kid gloves

‘Flytilla’ activists who do manage to get to Israel say they are intent on causing as much trouble as they can.

JPOSTTwo European airlines, Jet2.com and Lufthansa airlines, canceled the air tickets of pro-Palestinian activists on Friday. Jet2.com emailed three Manchester women who had intended on participating in the “flytilla” that their tickets were null, and that no refund was available, the Guardian reported Friday.

Israel told European countries it was aware of pro-Palestinian activists who are intent on causing disturbances if they touch down in Israel as part of the ‘flytilla’ on Sunday, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said Saturday evening.

Speaking of communications between Israel and foreign governments and airlines, which included an Israeli transfer of names on a no-fly blacklist, Aharonovitch said, “We’ve asked them not to allow boarding for those who were identified by us. They acted pretty much accordingly.”

The public security minister, who has ministerial responsibility for Israel’s response to the attempt by large numbers of pro-Palestinian activists to touch down in Israel, said a passenger plane with activists could land in Israel as early as Saturday night. “We’ve started initial preparations tonight,” he said on Saturday. “Tomorrow is the main day… clear instructions have been given to the police, the interior minister… to prevent provocations and not allow disturbances at Ben Gurion Airport,” he added.

Those who manage to circumvent no-fly lists and land at the airport, and who have been identified by Israel as provocateurs, will be “isolated from the central airport,” Aharonioitch said. Activists who get past all of Israel’s measures “will be arrested if they cause disturbances,” he added.

Hundreds of unarmed police officers will guard the airport on Sunday, as anywhere between 500 to 1000 activists try to land in Israel, according to police estimates. Sunday is expected to be one of Israel’s busiest air travel days, with some 45,000 passengers landing and taking off from Ben Gurion.

Exhibiting the best of ‘Jewish’ humor, Israel will present activists who do arrive at Ben-Gurion Airport with a ‘Thank You’ letter:

JPOSTPro-Palestinian activists arriving Sunday at Ben-Gurion Airport as part of the anti- Israel fly-in dubbed the “flytilla” will be greeted with a sarcastic letter noting that while they could have chosen to protest the brutality in Syria, Iran and Gaza, they opted instead to protest against the “Middle East’s sole democracy.”

“Dear activist,” starts the letter that will be translated into a number of different languages for the participants in an event formally being called “Welcome to Palestine.”

“We appreciate your choosing to make Israel the object of your humanitarian concerns,” the letter continues.

“We know there were many other worthy choices.”

Israel plans to bar entry by some 2,000 activists from at least 15 different countries, mostly in Europe, either by preventing them from boarding their flights or by deporting them once they arrive.

The activists want to draw attention to Israel’s practice of barring foreigners it believes could cause trouble by engaging in pro-Palestinian activities during their visit.

The letter – drawn up in the Prime Minister’s Office – noted, that the activists “could have chosen to protest the Syrian regime’s daily savagery against its own people, which has claimed thousands of lives.”

Alternatively, they could have chosen to protest “the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on dissent and support of terrorism throughout the world.” Or, if they simply had to come to this part of the globe, they “could have chosen to protest Hamas rule in Gaza, where terror organizations commit a double war crime by firing rockets at civilians and hiding behind civilians.”

Instead, “you chose to protest against Israel, the Middle East’s sole democracy, where women are equal, the press criticizes the government, human rights organizations can operate freely, religious freedom is protected for all and minorities do not live in fear.”

The letter concludes with a suggestion that the activists first solve “the real problems of the region” and then “come back and share with us your experience.”

In an indication that Israel will not let the protesters in but will instead deport them back to their countries of origin, the letter ends with the line: “Have a nice flight.”

The speaker for the International Solidarity is mistaken. When he says that it is illegal to bar people from their right of traveling, he forgets that once you are past security control or in the least, before you get past passport control at any airport, You are not on the soil of that country anymore. You are basically on no-mens land and therefore any government has the right to ask certain people from being allowed transportation to their borders if these certain people post a security threat to other countries.

Have never been to the beautiful Gaza strip; but two friends have. One, a Canadian referred to the Gaza inhabitants as: “The most useless, dirty, lazy, devious lying people on gods green earth”. The other comment, by a New Zealander cannot be printed here because of the language.

What a bull shit you are saying ,Gaza, the most beautiful area,And the most lazy, terrorists, criminals, babies killers, womans rapists,always lying to others,un pridictable, third class and worth then the gutter class people,s on earth.Israel.understand.

I sure hope the Canadian officials, both of Air Canada AND the airport authorities of Montréal, will have the sense to apply the same measures as what Lufthansa did. If the French are also doing as much, so much the better!!!

Speaking of France, yours truly just read on the Weblog “Islam in Europe” the following headline: “Morocco: Preacher calls Muslims to leave France.”

The first two paragraphs (from ‘Telegraaf’) of that posting run as follows:

Omar al-Haddouchi, ideological leader of the Jihadist movement in Morocco, published a fatwa saying all Muslims should leave France for North Africa.

Al-Haddouchi says Muslims have no reason to stay in France, listing as reasons the burqa ban, the limits on the call to Friday prayers, and the stricter controls on Muslim radicals following the terror attack in Toulouse. He said non-Muslim countries were like a toilet, where you do your thing and then leave.

I sure hope that MANY of those wretches will obey that “fatwa” promptly and so relieve the burden upon France – and that it plays into the hands of Marine Le Pen, with the “decree” expanding to the rest of the West…

Out of curiosity, here’s the third and final paragraph of that particular posting from “Islam in Europe”: “His 14-minute long video fatwa is currently circulating on Jihadi websites. Al-Haddouchi was sentenced to 30 years for his links to the attack in Casablanca, May 2003, but was pardoned last year by King Mohammed VI.”

The sad truth is that even if many of them leave, the Muslim threats (expansionism, colonisation, terrorism) still remains as long as a single Muslim remains in the West. Only when we’re DEAD-CERTAIN that not a single one remains in the West, legally or illegally, can we relax – and that includes a requirement that no Muslim countries have ANY Muslim personnel in their embassies.

In fact, it’s amply preferable that there be NO EMBASSIES, consulates, trade offices, cultural activities or anything else in the West from such nations, PERIOD!!!!! It has to be COMPLETE APARTHEID with no mixing – and if Muslim countries do the same with Western people, so much the better as then they can’t play their tricks upon us that easily either using them as human shields…

Israel was on alert Sunday for a planned mass fly-in protest, or “flytilla,” by foreign anti-Israel activists protesting the Jewish state’s control of Judea and Samaria, including the eastern half of Jerusalem. But by the end of the work day, a mere 27 activists had managed to land in Israel. They were quickly detained and deported.

The stunt was largely thwarted by Israel loudly publicizing the fact that it would deny entry to the activists, insisting that they were arriving for the sole purpose of provoking unrest. As a result, most airlines cancelled the activists’ tickets rather than be billed for their return flights upon deportation from Israel. Unable to even reach Israel, hundreds of the activists demonstrated at an airport in Paris.

Of course Israel has a great experience in showing the world the civilized face of Zionism,while they deprive Palestinian refugees from seeing their relatives in the occupied land,they receive the Gays assemblies,while they send agricultural experts to underdeveloped countries, they uproot olive trees of Palestinian farmers ,burn their harvested crops ,flow waste water on their farms,while they detain prisoners without trials for months and years ,they are pioneers in Human rights!!

You have NO IDEA what is in store for these types, by my type. If it’s us or them, they will have little choice in the matter, we already know and are planning on making the choice for them, they just haven’t figured it out YET.

Problem with shutting down the airport today is that it would be disastrous for all the returning “natives” & departing tourists after the week of Passover – which, of course, is why the Fly People chose this weekend. A pox on ALL the mudslimes!!

I would prefer that they leave Islam and convert to Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, Catholicism, Jehovah’s Witness, Buddhist, Shinto, Taoist, Confucian, or Animism. ANY of those would be a net improvement on the human race.

wonderful comment. thanks for it, and for the getting out there of the nuttiness of bringing Islamic, wife beating, finger chopping, beheading, honor killing, deluded scum suckers to the shores of a pristine and beautiful land. We GOT to be living in the last days!!

Liberals feel that the world is overpopulated as shown by the links below. I was talking to my friend about how appalling this is only to find he thinks we should exterminate 50% of the World population for “their own good”.

It simply amazes me how the left aligns itself with Islam, who has shown itself throughout history to violently dominate and overtake native people, countries, and cultures. Muslims are using the left like Useful Idiots described in this video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=dE38dLxapVo

Rather than trying to wipe out those “evil conservatives” that don’t like slavery but value things like freedom and free markets or the Christians and Jews who try the best they can living the ten commandments. Maybe they should consider “exterminating” the people that are order to oppress by their God to dominate or annhiliate all human beings except muslims.

Obama’s appointed Science Czar. Like most Czars, they were not approved by the Senate, which is unconstitutional. He advocated in his book “Ecoscience”, sterilization of the human population by adding a sterilization drug to the food and water supply and the government taking babies away from single mom’s.

Whoever thinks people need to die to save the planet ought to be told right back: why don’t you start with your own self, IMMEDIATELY?? Why should other people be killed and not yourself, you stinking Commie???”

I’d love to see the reaction THEN from such as Gates, Soros, Rockefeller, etc. (from a very safe distance, i.e., NOT directly)…

I think it highly specious that Bill Gates seriously wants to “drastically reduce” the world’s population – through VACCINE against deadly diseases, such as malaria, etc.?!? C’mon! Bill & Melinda Gates may be rich and spending vast sums of their own $$ – and they may even be (gasp!) more libturd than right-thinking – but they’re NOT “eugenicists” in any interpretation of the word! In fact, they’re deeply committed to eradicating serious childhood diseases in their home base of Seattle/Bellevue, WA and, indeed, around the world.

I can’t speak for any of the others, but I’ve known (from a distance) and followed Bill Gates since he & Paul Allen first came on the scene with their PC software; and, from my view & experience, global planning and a desire to control anything more than his own software empire are NOT a priority with Bill & Melinda Gates!

After initially being uneasy about those activists losing their money on the voided tickets, I’ve decided that only if they’re punished where it hurts can we hope that such good-for-nothings will be deterred from wasting the time and energy of both Israeli security AND Gentile airline-companies.

Well done, Israel!!!! Who needs such Commie stool-pigeons to invade a wonderful country that beats its Arab neighbours hands down in every respect?!?? Yes, it’s best that those wretches go instead and try their shenanigans in “dar al-Islam” – and see how long they last (if they even make it out alive – in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, they stand a good chance of being executed as “blasphemers”)…
